This year or last? I wouldn't put much stock in how someone handled the 2014 version of Clowney. Not to detract from your point...it's certainly better than Britt being dominated by Clowney, but we all know the games Clowney was playing at SC this past year. It saddens me he was rewarded with the 1st overall. It's a new world.I like this pick but not the spot.

No clue who this guy is. I think after this season I'm done trying to look at options for Seattle. They'll take a 4th round rated LB in the 1st next season too. It was the right position but another disappointment, huge reach. And now because I said that, he'll be in the Pro Bowl year 1.

That could be a good sign, or that could've been the game that Jadeveon took off.

All sarcasm aside, it looks like the kid is an elite athlete that needs some polish. He could end up backing up Bailey this year, or could end up starting. I like the mean streak, he'll fit in well. The only issue I have is that he seems weak at run blocking.

I would guess that's the hope, although he's apparently very versatile at G/LT/RT.

And I wouldn't put too much stock on when and where the Seahawks pick their guys. We should know that by now, and we should also know it works out pretty well. Superstars out of 3rd, 5th, 7th rounders, UDFA's, whatever.

We go into the draft knowing who we want, and then go get them. We don't care about draft position esteem or how the experts think we should have picked. We know our scheme and get the guys that work.

For those that call it a reach: You honestly can't call it a reach unless you have watched his tape and put a grade on him. Do you know where other teams graded him? No. All you know is what you see on some media produced mocks that become increasingly inaccurate as we go deeper into the draft.

What do you hate about this pick besides your knee jerk reaction based on some half-baked Kiper/McShay mock?

Ya know, with Pete and John, I just assume that they see something in a player that other people don't see. They look at some skill or other intangible that their draft picks have and then "Coach 'em up". I think that's the main advantage that our organization has... Look for this or that that Pete and John see, and then hit 'em hard with targeted coaching, targeting their perceived weakness, then concentrate on strengthening that weakness and turning them into a very good or elite player. At least that's the way it has seemed to have gone with our other passed-over draft picks and ignored free agents so far. Anyone else agree with that assessment?
